Green Wool
Green Wool is a colored building block made by dyeing any wool with green dye, a soft accent for gardens, forests, and nature-themed builds.
Description
Green Wool crafts a matching green interior. Three Green Wool above three planks of any kind make a green bed. Two Green Wool yield three green carpets. Six Green Wool around one stick make a green banner. Wool also blocks vibrations, so sculk sensors cannot detect walking, placing, or breaking on Green Wool, and the warden misses the same wool activity. Players building near sculk sensors can line floors and walls with Green Wool to muffle every step, and paintings accept wool of any color as an ingredient.

Guide
How to craft Green Wool in Minecraft
-
1
Shear a sheep for wool
Use shears on an adult sheep to collect 1–3 blocks of wool; an unshorn sheep also drops 1 wool on death.
-
2
Smelt cactus into green dye
Place cactus from a desert into a furnace; every smelt turns one cactus into one green dye.
-
3
Combine wool and green dye
Place one wool of any color and one green dye on the crafting grid; each pair produces one Green Wool.
-
4
Dye a sheep for renewable wool
Apply green dye directly to a sheep and shear the dyed sheep for 1–3 Green Wool blocks per shearing.
-
5
Search woodland mansions
Green Wool generates naturally inside woodland mansions together with every wool color except magenta, pink, and purple.
Green Wool stacks to 64 but only with other green wool — wool of different colors fills separate inventory slots.

Frequently asked questions
Can I craft Green Wool without sheep?
Yes. Four string arranged in a square craft one white wool, and shepherd villagers sell wool of any color for emeralds; one green dye turns any of that wool green.
Is Green Wool flammable?
Yes. Wool burns easily and catches fire from lava, so wooden builds should keep Green Wool away from fire sources.
Can Green Wool be dyed into another color?
Yes. Wool of any color can be re-dyed into any other color, so Green Wool converts to any of the sixteen wool shades with the matching dye.
Does Green Wool work as furnace fuel?
In Java Edition, one wool block smelts 0.5 items, which makes Green Wool an emergency fuel rather than an efficient one.
Can the color of a green banner be changed after crafting?
No. A banner crafted from six Green Wool blocks and a stick keeps the green base color permanently, though dyes still add colored patterns on top.
